U.S. lawmakers warned about dangers U.S. Marshals faced months before deadly Charlotte ambush

Just months before the killing of four law enforcement officers in Charlotte, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service warned members of Congress about the growing threat to these officers' safety.
"Our work is exceedingly dangerous," Ronald Davis, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service, said before a House Judiciary subcommittee in mid-February. "It requires exceptional skill and sophisticated training and equipment... Officer safety, morale and wellness have, and will continue to be one, of my top priorities. We cannot effectively serve the American people if we do not take care of our most valuable asset."

That's not good for you to say that you just need to let God do his job and be quiet

This is what happens when you mistake tacticool for real training. Blew that already bloated budget on gear and armored vehicles instead of training. Common sense would have told you to take this guy when he was outside his home. But if you got armor and all that high speed kit you lil yourself into a false sense of security.

Exactly

I see this comment over and over from many people and I wholeheartedly agree. So this is something that is so obvious it is readily self-evident to a reasonable person. That being said --- I can't help but fear the cynical notion that leadership deliberately put their subordinates here in harms way for political reasons (justify calls for more budget and power).

It's very unfortunate this situation happened but is it because they're trying to grab your second amendment rights and people are fed up with it and are going to stop you from taking their second amendment rights by any means necessary did you ever think about that
